    It's getting mixed reviews here.

    Some people are coming out of the movie tramatised, others are just saying the movie is Crap, others come out with motion sickness.

    1. If you don't know what the movie is about, it helps a lot. They had the investigations about it on TV and kind of ruined it.

    2. It's not like a normal horror movie.

    3. It only cost them $30K to make, I think it's grossed over 10 times that already.

    Did you go see it hobbes? did you get your $$$ worth? I paid $8 and considering the production costs etc of the film, it is a bit much to pay. Although I'm glad I did see it, but it's not the ultra-dead-scary-it-will-have-you-jumping-10-feet-off-the-seat horror flick it's billed to be.

    And for those that haven't heard of it, this film is getting a *lot* of press in the States. Cinemas across in the States were booked out for the first couple of days after release. The hype machine is working overtime on this one.

    Naa I didn't see it, for just over/under (?) an hour it's hardly worth it. And I'd proberly puking from the camera work (one of the local cinemas have a warning telling people to leave if they get motion sick, as they are ****ed off cleaning up).

    BW is now at 100 Million +, it was 30K to make and about 100K to fix the film for wide release (camera work or sound was crap apprantly).

    #1 film for two weeks now at the mo is 7th sense. And #2 is Bowfinger. Both look good, have yet to see them though.

    I actually saw that film over in the US, apart from a little feeling of sickness (due to how its filmed). It was a great film, pretty intense, although I won't spoil it for anyone by saying any more. See that & see Deep Blue Sea, another excellent film Isaw over there.
